The screen-shot opposite shows the
personality selection dialogue in DMX-
Workshop (right-click and select personality).
The table below shows the footprint for each
of the personalities.
The Circuit Footprint is the number of DMX512
channels that are used per DALI circuit.
The Total Footprint is the number of DMX512
channels that are used if all DALI circuits are
patched contiguously.
The mapping relationship between received DMX512 and transmitted DALI is defined by selecting
one of nine personalities. Personalities are selected using RDM. Changing the personality of
the root-device will affect all DALI circuits. Changing the personality of a sub-device will affect
only one DALI circuit.
Personalities
Only DALI broadcast ARC commands are transmitted to each circuit. This is the simplest mode
of operation and the factory default. The DALI devices do not need to be commissioned to
operate in this mode. DALI Mask values are not transmitted.
DALI ARC commands are transmitted to the 16 group addresses of each circuit. This is the
most efficient use of DALI bandwidth and this mode should be used for most intensity control
applications. The DALI devices must be commissioned and group addresses allocated in order
to use this mode. DALI Mask values are not transmitted.
DALI ARC commands are transmitted to the 64 device addresses of each circuit. This mode
provides the most flexible control but uses the most DALI bandwidth. The DALI devices must
be commissioned in order to use this mode. DALI Mask values are not transmitted.
